the sucker king

Okay, we are not talking about the same ring. I see what you are saying. Yes that ring needs checked if the leak is between the engine block and the plate. In your second picture you can see how there is a plate about a quarter inch thick held to the pump with a single screw. What I am saying is if the leak is between the plate and main pump body, You have to seperate the two and there are 2 more o-rings in there. And yes there should be a gasket where you are speaking of (between the engine and the pump. If you don't have one, you used sealant, and you would know better than I if it works just as well.

Follow my advice instead. The rubber ring uberscoober speaks of is the O-ring I spoke of. There ABSOLUTELY SHOULD BE A GASKET behind the plate, Which should be considered part of the pump. Be warned that sometimes oil pumps don't want to come off. Maybe someone else can give advice on removing a stubborn fuel pump. I am not very good at it.

The 'block' you speak of is part of the oil pump. I will call it a "plate" to avoid confusion with the engine block. The oil pump has a "plate" between the main body of the pump and the engine block. If Your leak is in between the plate and engine block, You need to remove the oil pump and replace (or in this case just put one on) the gasket. If the leak is beween oil pump and the plate, You can remove the pump and then remove the plate from the back of the pump and you probably have a bad o-ring in there. There should NOT be a gasket between the plate and Oilpump body You mentioned a pulley which your oil pump does not have, If you are leaking oil from around your crankshaft pulley, that is a different story.

PM me with your email and I can send a pic, but I assure you if you have a 1983 subaru, this is the part you need. As far as price, $10 shipped sound good?

80w/90. I have a pitch rod too if you want it.

The new dizzy IS in and wired straight to the coil (hard to tell in the pic). If I get rid of the resistor pack completely, what do I do with the black and white wire from the harness? What does it do? Are you saying I CAN'T run this as is?

The harness and ignition coil in my car are of the 80 - 81 year model variety. The stock disty has a three way connector that plugs in to a connector that comes out of the ignition control unit thing mounted on the top of the coil. This connector is circled towards the top of the pic. I need to replace the disty and the only solid one I have is of the 83 + variety that has the two wires that mount directly to the two positive and negative terminals on the front of the coil. Can I just hook it up with no other alterations? I am a little concerned because in addition to the positive and negative leads from the main harness to the terminals on the front of the coil, there is a black and white wire from the main harness that connects to the resistor pack on the top of the coil. This is the other thing circled. Can I run this set up just like it is in the pic?

What was the gear ratio on the LSD? Hey Knewsubiefan- You are gonna have to figure out posting pics, cause you just can't leave us hangin' here! Did you look to see if your rear differential has a LSD tag on it? gear ratio should be on it too.

Very cool. was this a Japan or Europe thing only? Where did you get the pic Turbone?

Search function is awefull on this forum. What is an ea81 RX? besides this motor was it anything different? standard ea81 hardtop coupe body? Do tell!

According to My 1980 FSM, 1800 cams are stamped with the number 72, 1600 cams are stamped with number 51. I pulled apart a dual carb 1600 engine and the cam is stamped "66". Does anyone know anything about this cam or this engine based on the cam #?

but there are some benefits to leaving it hooked up, There has been many posts on the board on this topic here is a good one: http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?t=15379&highlight=weber+afterburn

Yep. those are them.

I am In Lyons. I have 4 subes ranging from 77 to 86. Hi TJ, I bought some wheels off you years ago!

No not the pre-heater, I am talking about the two ports next to the carb hole (just to the drivers side) on the manifold left empty when I removed the anti - afterburning valve. I can post a pic tomorrow, or if you are feeling curious, look in an ea81 FSM in the engine section they have a digram of a bare bones manifold. You'll see what I mean

and the two ports right under the carb, are they just vacuum to be capped?

got it. thanks for the explanation. and yes it apears to be in contact with the coolant channel.

But my point is, why is there even a hole in the manifold there. This valve has no port (to within the manifold)

I should add that the end of the threaded part of this valve looking thing that you can't see in this pick is solid and flat, no actual opening into the manifold. Perhaps there was something else in it's place on certain models? I can just replug the whole with this same piece and not have to even cap the two plastic hose fittings, correct?

I want to clean up the intake manifold as much as possible on this webered ea81. I removed the anti- afterburner and am confused by something. I removed what was screwed into the rear of the intake right behind the A-AV, It appears to be just a metal plug with two plastic hose fittings on the outside. I do not understand why there is even a passage to the inside the manifold there. I searched the forums and I think I found a pick of the "plug" I am talking about. Here is that pic but note that one of the plastic nubs is broken off in this pic. I can post more pics of the part that will better illustrate my confusion tomorrow if needed when i have access to a camera. So is this truely just a plug? there is something here I am not getting. Also do you guys who have removed this stuff just plug the two manifold ports just to the drivers side of the opening for the carb base with vacuum caps?

I would like to apologize to nipper and cawain for being a wongleflute, and i do mean that. I was in a bad mood and frustrated last night, and you guys were trying to help answer a question I had and I was also not clear on what i was asking. again I am sorry. I am not usually a jerk. just sometimes okay? also thanks to turbone who always is helpful and loyale 2.7 turbo, the Honduras freak who I have noticed consistantly puts up some of the coolest posts this board has. That's all.

okay I have found through the Bentley's manual that as I suspected they are all for AC. Here are some diagrams so all you guys can further assist people in the future. Sorry for being pissy, I just came here assuming somebody could quickly identify these parts to a car that I can not test as they are part of a harness being installed in a car that does not have AC or even a battery and is not yet running. I should have specified that I actually wanted information, instead apparently some folks thought it was a guessing game. If you don't know, how bout DON'T ANSWER like the sticky at the top says?

Thank you all for you time. Goodnight.

No I was saying please don't say relays because I want to know WHAT THEY ARE FOR. Does anyone actually know what they are for? That would be most helpful. So far the responses are about as useful as a dead hooker. and yes I am an f'ing blast to be around. Thank you in advance.

Sorry for being grumpy, What are these? (please don't say relays please don't say relays please don't say relays)
